Help me strip down my carb to basics
I am currently rebuilding my carb and I want to eliminate as much as possible. I 'm making a block off plate for the altitude compensator, but i want to get rid of the hot start assist motor and any other parts I can get rid of. Can anyone help me?

PM IanS. When that foo' came to my house and had five minutes with my carb, it only weiged about five pounds and I hardly even recognized it. It was like somone on the "no food diet" after about a year.

You live in Ohio, keep the choke and fast idle. Trust me on this one.
Edit: I can send you some pics of my carb if interested. I have almost everything removed on mine. Everything except the secondaries accelerator pump thingy (whatever its called).

The thing I was talking about (in pic - round thingy) is not numbered, but it is the object that screw number 84 is holding to the carb. If you take off the front cover of that object (screws #85), you will see that it resembles the accelerator pump only larger scale. I believe Carl said that it had something to do with the vacuum secondaries. I also believe he said that if it is removed, you have to run mechanical secondaries.
As far as #67, it appears to be the fuel inlet. Not sure though since some of the carb is missing from that pic.

My fav is the Richer valve #92 and the actuator for it #89. I think I know to cut the power to it. If rebuilding what should I do, remove it, plug it, or does it need to stay in?

the easiest way to plug it is to cut the cables that go to the plug (#89), and use that as, well, as a plug!
Can I take the needle out or it have to stay?
#99 is the f-in damper.
